Healthwise I am doing pretty well. The plastics Doctor (Anderson) is pleased with the closing of the open chest wound and the 'Wound Vac' device that I was carrying around 24/7 for about 2 months is to be returned shortly, having done its job very well. I have some dental problems that will soon be fixed and after that it is only a few more visits and I will be able to go to Florida for the rest of the winter. I am still driving the 2002 Ford XLT Explorer, still well under 50,000 miles on it and no one but me and various repair people have ever sat in it.
I plan to ignore Xmas (as usual), although I did buy myself a gift for the holiday. A new watch by Swiss Army for $450.50, had it sent out and I am wearing it now. My other watch is a Sieko which I got about 11 years ago at the downtown Miami Burdines for about the same amount. It still works but isn't water resistant anymore. The Rolex from 1982 or thereabouts stopped over a year ago and to fix it would cost around $1300, so that was ruled out as an option and it remains in the safe, not that anyone would come out ahead if it were stolen as they would only get a broken watch!
